This April 23d Ubisoft released an 8 minute video showing the three key multiplayer elements of the open-world hack-em up Watch Dogs. In the trailer, we saw a classic team-based capture the flag style game, a clever pairing between the main game and a companion app as well as one-on-one hack and evade mode.

Seamless, or at least attempted seamless, multiplayer and singleplayer integration in games isn’t entirely new. However with multiple devices and social sites being more connected than ever, are we going to see an entire new genre of multiplayer experiences that more effectively go hand in hand within a single player story?
